However, the Vice President’s tweet did not meet a lot Nigerians on Twitter well, as many of them were of the opinion that it was a wrong time for the VP to be talking about football considering how many Nigerians have died in the last 72 hours in Nigeria.

See how many Nigerians reacted:

“People will still be unhappy no matter the outcome because of this senseless killing acros the nation. #justice for plateau”

Another person claimed he has no conscience:

“Leaders without conscience. You should be mourning people that died in plateau, not talking about football. Have a rethink”

And this:

“Blood shed is the order of the day in your country and you are just feeling unconcerned because none of your people is involve . The northern christians are being slaughtered on daily basis and our christian VP is talking about match. What a shame”
